Rapture

Thirtysomethings gather at this hip, dark bar for drinks and fiery billiard games. Food as basic as burgers, as exotic as Thai. Also has a pretty thriving music scene and dance floor.

Located on Charlottesville's bustling downtown pedestrian mall, this restaurant and night club is the center of downtown's nightlife. In addition to its cusine's hip blend of traditional southern styles and high-end European and Asian dishes, its swank bar and billards room is the place to gather and meet.
